A Weston resident has been appointed to the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority board.

Governor Mitt Romney has appointed Judy M. Pagliuca to replace Beth Lindstrom. Lindstrom had to step down after Romney discovered he had run afoul of a law designed to prevent governors from overloading the board with members of a single party, the Globe reports today.

The board is in the spotlight these days because of questions about the safety of the Big Dig.
